I thought We Were Soldiers was Korean/Vietnam War.

The Thin Red Line is the best of all those you listed in the OP IMO.

Saving Private Ryan, while a good show on a home theatre, isn't nearly as powerful as The Thin Red Line.

 

[sonambulo]

saving private ryan is junk. all fluff no development. robbed the thin red line.

 

[Bacardi151]

A Bridge Too Far

...and maybe Schindler's List? (since you're putting Pianist on the list)

 

[Yossarian]

Midway

Watching thousands of people get mowed down on the beaches was "realistic" but only for a small part of the war. You like the hype too much. The whole war wasn't fought on a beach or through a single good paratrooper division.

THR is realism in the pacific.

SPR for realism? You've got to be kidding me...

As for World War II movies, I try to stay away from those that are out done...

Band of Brothers - Absolutely Amazing
Thin Red Line - Watched it once and thought it was werid. Will have to watch it again
Saving Private Ryan - Lots of historical inaccurracy and other inaccurracy, still a damn good movie...
We Were Soliders - Absolutely Amazing, I don't care if it's vietnam. It's a good war movie.

Ive never been in a war so I dunno, but SPR seemed pretty damn realistic to me...more so than the dozens of other WWII movies out there.

the photography part and the special effects is realistic, but i think the people are referring to the portrayal of the war
